    This exhaustive and affectionate history is crammed with information and rare pictures from the famous Shepperton Studios.

  • Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours;Adapted to Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Anatomy, and the Arts

    08

    Read & Co. presents this new edition of Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours. First published in 1814, this small volume comprises a collection of 110 swatches displaying nature’s colour palette together with their poetical descriptions.

    In the 18th century, German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner set out to establish a standard reference guide to colour for use in the general sciences. Scottish flower painter Patrick Syme later enhanced and extended Werner’s work to include all of the most common colours or tints that appear in nature, with each colour swatch accompanied by examples from the Animal, Vegetable and Mineral Kingdoms.

    The resulting work was used by many scientists, explorers and anthropologists to further their studies, including Charles Darwin during his time on the HMS Beagle. Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours is considered the predecessor of modern systems such as Pantone and has even inspired heritage paint ranges from the likes of Dulux and Farrow & Ball.

    Read & Co. is republishing this beautiful little volume in a new facsimile edition and has taken great care to reproduce the original text and art for a new generation of artists and scientists.

  • Trailblazing Women Printmakers: Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios and the Folly Cove Designers

    The history of the Folly Cove Designers (1941-1969) – one of America’s longest-running artist collectives – is explored through their work. Folly Cove Designers (officially 1941-1969) was a mostly all-women block printing collective.

    The group was founded by Caldecott-award winner and beloved children’s book author/illustrator Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios (of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel fame). Together the Gloucester, MA-based group produced over three hundred distinct designs conveying personal and regional narratives through the use of shared design principles and the compelling language of pattern. The group was propelled to international fame through commercial contracts with major retailers (F. Schumacher, Lord & Taylor, etc.), articles in leading periodicals such as Life, and participation in seminal fine craft exhibitions.

    As the first comprehensive history of the Folly Cove Designers, Trailblazing Women Printmakers documents and celebrates the group’s tremendous success and the incredible artistry of its members. Through historical ephemera and photographs, Sarni explores the history, the work, and the group dynamics of the Folly Cove Collective.

  • British Murals & Decorative Painting 1910-1970

    01
    The murals that were produced in this country in the twentieth century remain as one of the great inventive achievements in modern British art. Highly original in their approach to design, balancing varying degrees of modernity or tradition, they demonstrate the creative drive of their makers and contain singular expressions of the aesthetic, personal and social concerns that typify the ages from which they come. Some are celebrations of simple human pleasures, perhaps to decorate a refreshment room, an ocean liner or a dining room.

    Others are intended to be the highest expressions of their art, ambitious allegorical or decorative compositions that like the frescoes of the

    Renaissance would speak through the ages to later generations. The individuals and committees who commissioned them similarly believed they would both represent the best that Britain had to offer and mark the high accomplishment of contemporary society, elevating the public and private spaces they occupied and inspiring moral purpose.This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘British Murals & Decorative Painting 1910-1970’ which took place at the Fine Art Society – London (13 February – 9 March 2013) in association with Liss Llewellyn Fine Art. It coincided with the Sansom & Co publication British Murals & Decorative Painting 1920-1960.

  • Forgotten War: The British Empire and Commonwealth’s Epic Struggle Against Imperial Japan, 1941–1945

    The monumental struggle fought against Imperial Japan in the Asia/Pacific theater during World War II is primarily viewed as an American affair. While the United States did play a dominant role, the British and Commonwealth forces also made major contributions – on land, at sea and in the air – eventually involving over a million men and vast armadas of ships and aircraft. It was a difficult and often desperate conflict fought against a skilled and ruthless enemy that initially saw the British suffer the worst series of defeats ever to befall their armed forces. Still, the British persevered and slowly turned the tables on their Japanese antagonists. Fighting over an immense area that stretched from India in the west to the Solomon Islands in the east and Australia in the south to the waters off Japan in the north, British and Commonwealth forces eventually scored a string of stirring victories that avenged their earlier defeats and helped facilitate the demise of the Japanese Empire.

    Often overlooked by history, this substantial war effort is fully explored in Forgotten War. Meticulously researched, the book provides a complete, balanced and detailed account of the role that British and Commonwealth forces played on land, sea and in the air during this crucial struggle. It also provides unique analysis regarding the effectiveness and relevance of this collective effort and the contributions it made to the overall Allied victory.

  • Advertising the Black Stuff in Ireland 1959-1999: Increments of change (Reimagining Ireland Book 95)

    1959 to 1999 was a pivotal time in the Republic of Ireland’s short history. This book’s journey commences in 1959 when the country had just taken its first steps on the road to internationalization. It concludes 40 years later in 1999, by which time Ireland had metamorphosed into one of the most globalized countries in the world. Inevitably, many of the country’s cultural and societal norms were challenged. The author charts many of the changes that occurred over the course of those years by piecing together a large number of the ads held in the Guinness Archive. Just as Irishness, cultural specificity and the provenance of Guinness formed an integral part of these ads, so too did the growing prevalence of international cultural tropes. The book seeks to interrogate the following: the influence of the Guinness brand’s provenance on advertising campaigns aimed at consumers living in Ireland; the evolution of cultural signs used in Guinness’s advertising campaigns aimed at consumers in Ireland between 1959 and 1999; the extent to which Ireland’s social and economic history might be recounted through the lens of Guinness’s ads; the extent to which Guinness’s advertising might have influenced Irish culture and society.

  • Trading Market Dynamics Using Technical Analysis

    01

    Trading Market Dynamics Using Technical Analysis by Constance M. Brown

    Summary: Now required reading for CFTe certification Level 1 and 2 by the International Federation of Technical Analysts. Applied technical analysis is different than theory. The interaction of signal, timing, and confirmation is critical in today’s markets. Trading Market Dynamics is a detailed progression of methods that lead to a final chapter showing how they are used for trading daily intraday signals in a trader’s log from January 1-31, 2022. The methods apply for longer horizon positions or short intraday swings. The 10th book by well known author.

    Chapter One – Markets or stocks should not be traded as a single symbol. There is always a leading trend to lean on using another market. The global cash flow discussion will show you how to compare markets in detailed charts.

    Chapter Two – A two-part chapter that covers classic cycles. It is written in two parts as the material will become required for CFTe levels 1 and 2. Other content is being evaluated for certification.

    Chapter Three – How to use MS Excel as a step-by-step guide to examine market correlation objectively.

    Chapter Four – Crowd psychology and the market pressure patterns they create.

    Chapter Five – Essential and written to correct industry misunderstandings and under-utilization of oscillators. Includes original charts and text of George Lane’s original week long course. Understand why you need both normalized and unbound oscillators in volatility. Learn why the best signals are NOT divergence signals but formations that repeat in the mid-range of travel giving signal probabilities.

    Chapter Six – Needed to understand Brown’s entry/exit and risk assessment criteria.

    Chapter Seven – This chapter tracks the entire month of January 2022 in an daily intraday trading log of NASDAQ. All the logic, study and prep each evening, then trading as a running dialog written in real-time. Time periods drop from daily down to 4-minute charts as needed. It became a period of market transition that required most of the methods described earlier in the book. The chapter in retrospect shows how applied technical analysis is used in battle during an historic rollover in the NASDAQ.
